Perfect imitation of vegetation. Life-like coloured and very natural appearance. Needs glue to apply it on your layout.

Natural vegetation gets everywhere!Even areas that have been cleared for building work or other man-made purposes will be encroached over time by nature in the form of weeds, ivy, grasses, mosses etc.

Therefore to give you layout extra realism, you should recreate this effect to a greater or lesser extent. You can suggest the passage of time or the amount of maintenance carried out on your man-made areas and structures by the amount of natural vegetation surrounding them. A dry stone wall, for example, will appear a lot older if there is vegetation growing around it and in the crevices. Similarly, a paved area will look older and badly maintained when there are weeds growing between the paving slabs, and where walls meet paved or ‘concrete’ surfaces.

One way to recreate this effect is to use model foliage, intended for making trees and bushes, on and around your structures. This product from the range by Javis can be used to represent the leaves of creepers or vines on your structures. It can be fixed down with WS191 Scenic cement, dilute PVA or even matt varnish and even cheap hairspray!
